How the Work ofIthe Cooperative Board
Has Been Crippled.
Minneapolis Telegram: Most Of the
delegates 70 the General Assembly Of
the Knight. Of Labor have returned
10 their homes. Mr.. Powderly has
gone to Milwaukee. His mission lie
understood a. being to endesvor TO
conciliete the seeded Gsmbrinus as
sembly of brewers of that city. Mem.
bers of the crippled cooperative board
held brief session to-day and CON.
pleted routine work. The board re-
solved to present written communi-
cation to the general executive board
asking for the SiOO, 600 appropriated
by the Richmond convention for the
use OF the board. Ii is understood
that the request will not be granted
No provision WIS made for this i'm
portsnt branch of the order at all.
The assembly in fact, killed the use
fulness Of the board, for the coming
year at least, by taking away the only
source Of revenue it had, voting that
II be not compulsory on the part Of
q. semblies to pay their assessments to
maintain the board. This leaves the
board just where it WAS before the
Richmond convention. J. r. Nc
Gaughey. secretary Of the board, said
to-day. The board would not be able
to do anything the coming year. The
terms of two members of the board
have expired, but no provision WIS
made to fill the vacancy. Genera
feed ss il has increased by growth, and
the idea of its affecting animals under
such circumstances seems rather sb.
surd. III the poor, hungry animals
Just out from the severe winter could be
turned upon our luxuriaDt valleys
with their June or July growth OF
grass, there might be something in it,
affecting them; but when they remain
on the range aud become accustomed
to the range, as they must when they
have to await the growth OF the grass,
such a theory goes for nsught, besides
many OF the horses that have been At
tackled are not range horses by any
means, but are horses that have been
kept up and fed from one years end tc
another. Some are stations, but hav,
done no service, and some are worl
horses, and all are generally fat. W,
confess that we are completely at Sc,
in regard to the matter. We, how
ever, invite those acquainted with the
symptoms OF the mslady TO the article
In this issue by DR.. Dawson, of Call
fornia, entitled, Equine Cerebro
Spinal Meningitis Not having been
able to famillsrize ourself with the
various symptoms Of the mslady, We
cannot say that the symptoms de-
scribed are those OF our Montana die
ease, although we have often thought
before we noticed the article that there
were some points that indicated thii
terribly fatal disease. In cerebrC
spinal menginitis in the human fam
lily nearly ninety-nine per cent Of tn,
victims die and those that reco yer ar,
MANNED for life, being deprived
of some one Of the five senses anC
some times several of them. Tn,
horse disease, 80 far as we ear
learn, is nearly as fatal, and thos'
that recover are said to be worthless
In how many particulars the disease
may differ from the one described In
this article, we cannot say, though
we invite our readers attention TO II
and to careful study OF the existing
disease with hope OF arriving at its
course that 1t may be, II possible, re-
moved and the mortality In our horss,
brought 10 an end. pd.--Husbandman.
